@n80,

Great! If you'd be so kind as to include @analysis in our ongoing emails.
My domestic/no bar code copy of "Permanent Waves" is enjoyable. Still no low bass though.
My first Shovel & Rope lp was their S/T lp. I liked the music but the SQ was thin. In the mean time, I saw them (as the headliner) with Son Volt last year. I always thought that as strange.  Now, I found "Little Seeds" in a discount, so I pounced. 
Regarding SQ, the difference from their "S/T" lp is night and day. "Little Seeds" has a nice analog quality, warmth w/ soul. What a positive change.
Tedeschi/Trucks Band "Signs"  if there is a current analog sounding recording, this is it!
"Song for Judy"  

The lps are flat. The songs are familiar to us all but maybe not as presented here. Mostly Neil solo, live. I'm really diggin' it. The jacket says from digital files. Don't let that scare you.
"American Band" is one hell of a record!

I've finally, successfully flattened, Shovels & Rope "Little Seeds" so I can confidently report in a little while....
@6t5-gto,

I passed on this title simply because my Pure Pleasure lp is probably THE best sounding rock lp I own. I'm happy with that.
@6t5-gto,

I rarely have played PG simply because it has always failed to meet my expectations ever since high school. Songs like "In The Light" were so inventive, even now, I can't think of anything similar. It is a great record by any measure.
Now, with the SoundSmith Sussurro MkII, it’s sounding very good. The last time I checked on an OP, it was $750.

I’m pretty sure I saw the Blake Mills lp there at a good discount at their last sale.

@jamesclarke,

The Valerie June lp is wonderful. If you don’t already have it, get "The Order of Time". IMO, it’s even better!
@peterjc,

Welcome. That's an interesting way to listen. It must take a bit of commitment.
Thin Lizzy "Jailbreak"

@jamesclarke,

I own the DCC "Pet Sounds" mono and it’s fantastic! Goin’ to be pricey though.

The Valerie June lp on Amazon will be the same as anywhere else
Regarding "Jailbreak", I have two pressings:
1976 Mercury
Vertigo/Back To Black from around 10 years ago?
The Mercury ruled. I still want to acquire an original WLP.
This title would be a great one done on dbl vinyl @ 45rpm.
…………………………………………….
Jenny Lewis "On The Line"  nice SQ, low bass may come across muddy if your room/system isn't up to it.
My first concert as a teen, was The Doobies tour of Vices at Cameron at Duke!

Saw them 2years later at Carowinds, The Skunk mooned everyone at the end.
The Neil Young is sounding excellent!

I just placed an order today with a "new to me vendor" which included Patty Griffin "S/T" & "1000 Kisses". Can't wait!
Great @uberwaltz 

She really has a pure/"go on for ever" tone to her voice, reminiscent of Neko Case IMO.
@tomic601

"God damn the pusher"

Regarding the Jenny Lewis lp, I'm a huge fan, yet on the second spin, I'm lovin' it even more!
John Fogerty "Deja Vu all over again" SQ = EX

Gonna give the new Jenny Lewis another whirl.
